SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires references, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Enables Flutter developers to build widgets using a setup phase that owns resources via hooks and disposes them automatically, returning a builder for reactive UI updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Setup-based composition: Declare signals, controllers, listenables, effects, timers, and lifecycle callbacks inside a single setup function that runs once per widget identity.
  • Three entry surfaces: Use SetupWidget for typed widgets, SetupMixin to augment existing StatefulWidgets, or SetupBuilder for inline prototypes.
  • Reactive rebuilds: The setup runtime tracks reads and schedules frame-end rebuilds to ensure predictable UI updates.

Quick Start

Create a SetupWidget and implement setup(context, props) to declare resources with use* hooks and return a builder.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage Flutter widget lifecycle and resource disposal using setup hooks?

You can manage Flutter widget lifecycles by running a setup phase that owns resources via use* hooks and returns a builder for reactive rebuilds. The runtime automatically handles disposal and hook sequencing.

Can I use setup hooks in an existing StatefulWidget?

Yes, you can augment an existing StatefulWidget using SetupMixin. This allows you to declare setup hooks for resources and lifecycle callbacks without rewriting your widget into a new SetupWidget type.

How do Flutter setup hooks trigger reactive widget rebuilds?

Reactive rebuilds are triggered when the setup runtime tracks signal reads and schedules frame-end rebuilds. This ensures predictable UI updates by batching rendering at the end of the current frame.

What is the best way to declare controllers and timers in a Flutter widget setup phase?

The best way to declare controllers and timers is inside the setup function using use* hooks. This setup function runs once per widget identity and automatically coordinates disposal and post-frame rendering.

Does Flutter setup hook sequencing work across hot reloads?

Yes, the setup runtime manages hook sequencing across hot reloads. It ensures that resources declared in the setup phase maintain their correct order and state during development.
